20 YEARS of SERVICE

A congratulations goes out to 5 members of the CFD for reaching their 20 years of service mark. Brothers Marcotte (F/F Batt 3), Verville (F/F Batt 1), Saltmarsh (Bureau Comm), Cournoyer(F/F Batt 2), & Freire (Lt. Batt 1) started thier careers with the CFD on April 13, 1987. Rumor has it that when these guys were in rookie school one of them asked for a cup of coffee, so the decision was made by their training officer to walk to the nearest Dunkin Donuts, which was about a half-mile away. This would not turn out to be any leisure walk however. Instead, these guys were made to carry a 35' exetension ladder both there and back IN THE SNOW!! I wonder if any of them asked for anything after that.
